Time continued to move forward as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Yet for Amari and her small circle, every tick of the clock carried weight. They were restless, caught between revelations, plans, and the uncertain future waiting for them.
Earlier that day, they had already reconnected with their quadruple population—an alliance that demanded both loyalty and risk. Each of them carried responsibilities, but none heavier than the secret Amari was about to reveal tonight.
Inside their group chat, the screen flickered with messages.
Nicky:I finally found Merlo Mendoza. I got to talk to him briefly and told him everything. He seemed happy about it. He even said he wanted to meet Sebastian—through me.
Annie:Thank you! I already told my family that I'm ready to get married. They were happy to hear it. Even my mother's attitude towards me seems lighter now. I only hope their feelings are genuine this time...
